We have had almost all our schools here (Sweden) under high school level open the whole time, and have had zero deaths in the entire country under 20 years of age, only 13 total deaths (5 between 20 and 29yo, 8 between 30 and 39yo) under 40 years of age. The old age cohorts have been hit hard though, 87% of all deaths have been 70yo and up, 95% 60yo and up.
